Read from Bel'Veth's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Rammus.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearBel'Veth FavouredVoid Surge dashes make your trades untouchable against slower kits. Defensive Ball Curl turns auto-attackers' trades against them, literally, so this is an edge and not a blowout — take the level-1 crossing only with the HP and cooldown lead.
Level 2 SkirmishBel'Veth FavouredAbove and Below's knock-up sets up a free trade window on cooldown, but Powerball engage plus the thornmail passive wins fights AD kits start. You still win the straight exchange on the second camp; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours.
Level 3 RouteBel'Veth FavouredAll four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel yours. Rammus can make it awkward — Defensive Ball Curl plus the taunt means every auto you throw damages you back — but not as the first scuttle timer lands. Trade, then walk away with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it.
Levels 4-5 MacroEven — Farm & TrackEven through 4-5. He rolls 4-5 into lanes on Powerball and takes the taunt fight anywhere a laner can follow up, so mirror it: farm the same tempo, ward the same crossings, and take the fight only with numbers.
Level 6 BreakpointRespect Rammus's RSoaring Slam drops the taunt onto you from over the wall — Bel'Veth loses the straight post-6 duel. The rule has not changed — stop attacking during Ball Curl and walk the taunt off, and shift your pressure to the side of the map their ultimate is not on.
First Item SpikeKraken Slayer SpikeCompleting your primary damage core triggers an un-matchable physical damage acceleration loop that completely melts epic monsters and champions alike. Your clear is on autopilot, letting you instantly secure lane priority grids before rotating into neutral pits. Rammus' first item is an armour spike more than a damage one, which is exactly what makes him harder to fight.
2+ Items ScalingBel'Veth Favoured — Wins LateFrom two items you out-scale Rammus. He reflects auto-attack damage faster than most carries can put it out, but none of that beats your full build in a straight fight.
